Obvious money laundering is obvious.

Off the commercial off the shelf "smart" TVs available, I started by looking at the OSes available. Choices were Roku, webOS, Tizen, and Google TV. I immediately ruled out Roku because of their recent changes to terms&conditions. webOS is pretty much limited to LG TVs, and I had bad experiences with LG warranties, so I ruled that out. Tizen (Samsung) was out for similar reasons, so that left me with Google TV. It's... OK. Doesn't require Internet connection to work, and doesn't nag me about it. And it came with a hardware switch to turn off the microphone. Not sure if that's a brand thing (Hisense) or applicable to all Google TV devices, but was reassuring.

TL;DR of article: "I have to commute into Toronto and choose to do so by car, so fuck anything that makes my life less convenient."

Never mind pushing for better public transit, WFH policies, etc.

Moore's law is about circuit density, not about storage, so the premise is invalidated in the first place.

There is research being done into 5D storage crystals, where a disc can theoretically hold up to 360TB of data, but don't hold your breath about them being available soon.

[The signs] are placed along Hurricane Road at the last major intersection before arriving at the bridge crossing. Basically, there’s no way to miss them.

The reporter overestimates most truck drivers' situational awareness.

"Approve" is not the same as "want". 79% of democrats would likely approve of a ham sandwich if that was the only alternative to the cheeto.

“The Oregon/Idaho line was established 163 years ago and is now outdated,”

Either accept that earlier laws can be outdated and reinstate Roe v. Wade, or suck it up, ya hypocrites.

You can't just add the balances and expect it to amount to the same as the spend. Consider this: you spend 0, 0, 0, 50. Your balances are 50, 50, 50, 0. Adding up the balances you get 150. What does this mean? Absolutely nothing.
